Notes

'Alpha' celosia (Celosia 'Alpha') is an annual for cut flowers, pollinator gardens, and accents. Frost will kill it, so set it out only after the last frost in spring. This plant likes full sun, average moisture, and sandy or loamy soil. It blooms from early to late summer, and butterflies and bees visit the flowers. It is not a favorite of deer, though hungry deer will eat almost anything.

Pairs well with Profusion zinnia, Diva dahlia, and Pineapple lily.
